For He Who is almighty has done great things for me--and holy is His name [to be venerated in His purity, majesty and glory]!And His mercy (His compassion and kindness toward the miserable and afflicted) is on those who fear Him with godly reverence, from generation to generation and age to age.

As believers, we need to realize that we are sinners. This awareness is very necessary and important. Then what should we do? St. Teresa of Avila asked: first, we must often go to confession. For that, there must be a longing in us to confession. This longing to be followed by how often we pray - conversing with God - as our friend. Second, we should have a father confessor who remain. According to him, a father confessor that will guide and help us to escape from possible blasphemous.

Third, confession should be followed by remorse, and followed by the courage to go back conversing with God, holy communion, God-fearing attitude, refusing blasphemous, cautious and remain vigilant (Way of perfection, XLI, 1- 3). Fourth, as well as build in us resolve not to sin again and put our trust fully in God (Way of perfection, XLI, 4).

St. Teresa of Avila not only teach and requested that her sisters (we) often go to confession, but he did it Himself. He has achieved a high degree of holiness, because he was always aware of the mistakes and sins. He always confessed and tried to build his spiritual life from day to day. Through the sacrament of reconciliation, consecrated his life, his soul was saved by God.

Entering Lent, let us build a spiritual life, purify our souls to confess our sins to the priest, as well as building a determination not to sin again. God accepts and loves us, if we dare to open ourselves and realize that we are sinners
